Directions

To make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, parsley, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.

To prepare the clam cakes: Combine the sausage, clams, egg, flour, parsley, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and separate into 4 patties.

Heat the oil over medium-high heat( enough oil to fill 1/4 inch deep). Pour the panko on the plate and season with cayenne. Coat the patties in the breadcrumbs on both sides. Gently place the cakes in the hot oil and cook on each side 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and sauce.
